Iran signed the Non-proliferation Treaty. Israel did not. Therein lies the answer to your questions. Iran backed itself into a corner by signing. They have obligations to the world as a result. This is not something they can change, so they lie and mislead instead. Israel, on the other hand, is not signatory to the NPT, and thus are not bound by the obligations therein. It ruffles the feathers of Iran that they extraordinarily miscalculated by signing the NPT, especially since it is evident that they have nuclear weapons ambitions. Israel, for whatever reason (and there are many), chose a path that does not obligate them to anyone, anywhere. Much to the chagrine of the Islamic world.

Good, then by your logic India and Pakistan are off the hook. Apparently, not all of the muslim world are bound by the NPT.

Who built the first nuclear facility in Iran?
That's right - America.
Iran signed the NPT when the first nucelar facility was built by America in Iran.

That is correct and compliant.

Our israeli/zionist friends have built atomic facilities and have not signed the NPT.

Tell me again, who is non-compliant?

Considering the amount of screwing around we've done in Iran since the 50's, I say we leave well enough alone.

Didn't Saddam pretend to have WMD's so that Iran would be to scared to invade? Sounds like that may be what Israel may be doing.

Did I say anything about "all of the muslim world" being bound by the NPT? Neither India, nor Pakistan, are bent on destrying Israel. Both countries are moderate by middle-eastern standards, which is precisely a major reason they are considered American allies. Iran, on the other hand, is indeed bound by the NPT and they're regretting this now. Fortunately for the world, they did sign the NPT, and we have every right to go in and find out what they are doing behind the scenes. India and Pakistan are irrelevant to this conversation, and to the point in general.

Oh, and when we were all over Pakistan and India like white on rice, you were most certainly against that...correct? As for relevancy, using the Bible is irrelevant to the discussion because we are talking about secular issues. Leftist RINOs are funny people.
